About Warragamba
Warragamba is a small town in Wollondilly Shire on Sydney's far western fringe, near the edge of the Blue Mountains. The 2021 Census population is 1,202, and the settlement remains closely associated with the construction history of Warragamba Dam. Housing is low-density and predominantly detached, giving the town a quiet semi-rural feel. Its character is shaped by water infrastructure, bushland surrounds and a tightly knit local community.
Local amenities cover daily needs, while larger shopping, health and employment services are typically accessed in Penrith and surrounding centres. Recreation includes nearby reserves, river landscapes and dam visitor areas that attract day-trippers. Public transport is mostly bus-based with rail access via stations well outside the township. Warragamba suits residents seeking a slower-paced outer-regional lifestyle within driving reach of metropolitan Western Sydney.
Warragamba falls under postcode 2752 and is governed by Wollondilly Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Wollondilly electorate.
